1. Introduction

For getting a powerful and economical IP Camera, PLANET introduces the next generation ICA-107/ICA-107W. These IP Cameras have an Integrated Microcomputer and a high quality CMOS digital-Image-Sensor with MPEG-4 compress it is the most effective solution on the bandwidth limited networks enabling it to display high quality live streaming video over the LAN and Internet.

The motion detection in the ICA-107 series can notify users via email or ftp while detecting any movement. With its administered software, there is no expertise required, and the surveillance network can be easily and efficiently established in few minutes.

ICA-107W supports 802.11b/g/n wireless network that will save time and cost for wiring. And with the Windows based utility, Cam Viewer Plus management software, the ICA-107 series, could take a snapshot, record and playback to the video files.

1.1. Overview

This user’s manual explains how to operate the IP Camera from a computer, unless model name specified terms “IP Camera” will be used for the two models. The user’s manual is written to be read on the computer display. However, users might consider printing it out to access easily and read it before you operate the Network Camera. This guide shows how to quick set up the IP camera.

1.2. Features

Easy configuration

The network administrators can configure and manage the camera via Windows-based utility or

web interface based on 10/100Base-TX Ethernet with Auto-MDIX or 802.11n wireless interface

(ICA-107W). Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail and HTTP network standards,

PLANET ICA-107 series can be applied and utilized in the mixed IP network environment.

Meets SOHO, business, or public facilities surveillance needs. The

Deployed in many different situations, such as libraries, train stations or factory production lines to

provide efficient human-resource, and offers flexibility, affordability, and reliability for the proper

surveillance of manufacturing facilities

Supports Web management & Cam Viewer Plus central management software

The IP Camera from a remote site via Intranet or Internet. They also provide users to make

function configuration including image monitoring, recording images to a hard drive, view up 64

cameras on one screen, snapshots and so on.

Simultaneous Viewing

The IP Cameras allow multiple users to login and view live video simultaneously. The advanced

video compression produces a high-quality, high-frame rate and VGA, QVGA video stream.

Motion Detection

Support monitors any suspicious movement in front of the cameras.
